How to Make Wild Blueberry Charlotte

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to create a simple syrup.
  3. Remove from heat and gently pour the syrup over 2 cups of frozen wild blueberries. Let stand for 10 minutes to allow the berries to thaw slightly.
  4. Transfer half of the blueberry mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Set aside the remaining half of the blueberry mixture.
  5. In a small saucepan, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  6. Heat the gelatin mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
  7. Add the dissolved gelatin to the blended wild blueberry puree and stir well to combine.
  8. Set aside and let cool, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until the mixture begins to thicken.
  9. Stir in 1/2 cup crème fraîche.
  10. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the wild blueberry mixture until just combined.
  11. Line a 2-cup deep dish (such as a trifle bowl or charlotte mold) with 12 ladyfingers, arranging them to fit the mold.
  12. Spoon the wild blueberry mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  13. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the charlotte is set.
  14. To serve, carefully invert the charlotte onto a serving plate. Garnish with the reserved wild blueberries and fresh mint sprigs.
